That's me ... The Graduate Nurse ... in the centre

I have always wanted to be an artist - since I was 10 years old. I believed that artist's had an interesting life - "different from the normal run of the mill life". And yet, that's not how my life panned out.
So the last three+ decades almost have been in service to the world of nursing and midwifery.
Ah! - one would think. That's a virtuous occupation. Yes, I suppose it has been rewarding. So many lives. So many stories. But... my passion is ART.  Nursing and Midwifery have just been a sideline to my life.

This is the story of how I captured the heart of me and lived out my passion of drawing portraits, while
up to this minute,  have worked day to day as a nurse/ midwife.
I wonder about the other people in the photograph, and what became of them.
